One point doesn't mean that much, but at least the boys gave us a nice comeback to remember! Still too much of a hill to climb as a result of Wednesday, really.

Just hoping we give it our all. Can't see it being too hard for Spurs to slice us open, though. It's just resting on whether Kane and Co. have their shooting boots on. We don't have any shooting boots.

So true! Especially when our players tried to reinstate a bit of hope for some after the Leicester and United results, only to do what they always do and crush it straight afterwards!

We're not out of this game.

Worth a hit there from Alcaraz. We've played some decent stuff and haven't really been outplayed. Decent really considering what Brentford can do to teams.

Some of our players look so flat footed sometimes.

The idea of relying on others to avoid relegation shows, really, how fucking deserving we would be of going down. It's up to us, and as we know, we simply don't have the mettle, the consistency, the potency or grit for a relegation battle.

So boring, isn't it. Adds nothing.

Yep. Much worse.

Our goal difference is disastrous. I'm therefore liking the fact we have won to nil twice recently. Just need more up front really. I still think we're down really, our games left are very tough.

We've been down for a while, I'm afraid. The Leeds result was the final nail in the coffin. We simply don't have the bollocks to turn it around.

Hes played at a level most of our players can only dream of. His experience is great, and can he be any less effective than Orsic or Elyounoussi?

Saturday morning amnesia allowing a bit of hope for today's match to creep in, only for it to be crushed by the end of the day!

My god, especially Lyanco - it takes him a good minute or so to get the ball under fucking control. It's so fucking painful to watch.

On an additional (and really boring) note, how shit is our pitch? I know it had that disease a while ago, but fuck me. It really sums up the diseased club we are at the minute.

My fucking god. I don't think I've ever watched a Saints game where I've actually fucking laughed out loud at how fucking shit we are. It's absolutely farcical. Grimsby deserved that. Fair fucking play to them. We just keep getting served plates piled to the fucking rafters full of shit. No ideas, no fluency, no potency, no belief. Laughable. Lyanco is so fucking poor it beggars belief. I mean, no one really comes out with credit but it only looks like we have three decent players in KWP, JWP and Lavia (though the latter wasn't great by his standards).

Fucking embarrassing for the lad. Get him gone.

I do wonder whether Sky has received extra income recently from somewhere in the Middle East, pertaining to their discussions about a certain northern club.

Tbf Bednarek and AMN were OK last time round. But yeh, get them off now.

I'm hoping very much that your bubble stays intact tomorrow!

I'm flitting between feeling real 'all or nothing' confidence that we'll get the win, and feeling anxious that our mentality as a team is too fragile to get anything more than a draw... It's a big one!

Desperate times. It'd be such a shame to see us relegated, especially as SR fucked the first half of this season with their ineptitude.

It's a shame really, as there were definitely periods under Ralph that we looked a decent outfit and were in the upper parts of the league. Like the poster above says, it would have been interesting to see what Ralph's reign would have looked like with this-January-level investment from the outset. As for Selles, I really do hope he's the real deal and we've got ourselves a strong manager. Even if we were relegated (still a likely prospect) but played well and picked up some wins and draws, I'd like to see how he would get on in the Championship.

Its pretty simple really, we need a huge upturn in form. We need over a point per game for the rest of the season. These relegation 6 pointers simply cannot be losses otherwise it's getting close to curtains for us.

This is the big issue. We have the capacity in terms of ability, just not that mental resilience, focus and belief. That leads to 'bad luck' games or moments. If we see Leeds turn into a win it will really build some momentum and confidence. Lose and it will feel like we are back to square one, especially as it is a relegation rival we are playing. The thing about the Chelsea result is it gives us a bit of hope. It's the hope that kills you as a fan, especially when that hope is dashed in the next game.
